Rand Paul is an isolationist, Libertarian, pro-choice for states, candidate, just like his father.

Reagan conservatives should not allow themselves to be fooled by his slick talk.

Boy, you sure can pull complete BS out of thin air pretty well.

Now let's clear your cloud of crap with some actual facts:

Neither Rand nor Ron Paul are isolationist - they are both "America First" proponents who call for the outdated and expensive overseas military presense to be reduced in line with budgetary and military prudence, not Cold War nostalgia or planet-wide "peace keeping" excuses.

Both Rand and Ron are as pro-life as you can be. Ron Paul is an obstitrician who has personally delivered over 4,000 babes.

Libertarian - small 'l', there's a difference. Learn it.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

No, they're not. They hold the position of Gerald R. Ford, not Ronald Reagan. They are pro-choice for states.

Y'know, the irony here is that the U.S. borrows from foreign powers and then turns around and spends the borrowed funds to defend those very same foreign powers, the blood of U.S. citizens spilled in the process notwithstanding. At the same time, the U.S. slits its own economic wrists by refusing to make use of its own natural resources and by hobbling its own economy with excessive and improper taxes and regulations.

Both Rand and Ron are as pro-life as you can be.

Ron Paul delivered babies, and Rand Paul is so pro-life that he's to the right of me! (He has gone on the record as supporting an end to all abortions, with no exceptions made for rape, incest, or the life of the mother.) It seems, though, that EV's point of contention is that Rand Paul is unwilling to end abortions at the Federal level but would prefer that the matter be handled at the state level, in keeping with the Constitution and the sovereignty of the various States.

It probably matters not what some others think about Paul so much as it matters as to what the people of Kentucky think of him and the other opponents. The following would indicate it’s a two man race with the others down at the wannabe level.

The Republican party in Kentucky has never seen anything like it.
Bowling Green eye doctor Rand Paul has no political experience, but with the support of the same people who backed his Dad, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, when he ran for president. Rand Paul has now at least pulled even with Secretary of State Trey Grayon in the GOP U.S. Senate primary.

32% Grayson
35% Paul
2% Johnson
1% Oerther
3% Thoney
10% Other
18% Undecided
